Acknowledged as one of the most grim years the world has endured for many a decade, 2016 was, nevertheless, the year which also saw Contemporary Literary Horizon go from strength to greater strength, consistently publishing journals packed with rich content and numerous collections and anthologies of first-rate poetry. In 2017, the troubled world might take a few lessons upon itself by following the internationalist and profoundly friendly example of CLH. My vote is cast for Daniel Dragomirescu and his CLH party.

Thank you very much for your supportive messages and for this suggestion, which I should like to take up. I much appreciate your kind help and all the work you and your colleagues have been doing for myself and other poets,

Fie ca Anul Nou să ne găsească alături de prieteni, în marea familie internațională a OLC-ului! May the New Year find us among friends, in the great international family of the CLH!

Dear people of the world,

We're all brothers and sisters...we come from the same people.

If we don't help each other now, the world could become

total chaos. Do what Jesus said, or, do what Buddha said

and love thy neighbor....before it's too late.

John Tischer (US – Mexico)

Now, at 12:41 PM, Eastern Daylight Time,

we are one year behind you further east.

How is the New Year, you who now know it?

The Old Year here doesn't know it's almost over.

It trickles on through the gutters and into

the sewers and through them into the

water reclamation plant downriver, and then

back into the ocean, flowing ever Eastward,

towards all of you already in the Future.

We who are still in last year now salute you!

Donald Riggs (United States)

J'ai vu un merle

au sommet d'une arbre

il chante, lui seule

comme s'il suit la lumière,

chante bienvenue a la nuit.

Le soir est doux

entre chien et loup

et le merle chante bienvenue.

I saw a blackbird

on the top of a tree,

he sings, solitary,

as if following the light,

sings welcome to the night.

The evening is mild,

in the twilight

the blackbird sings welcome.

Morelle Smith (Scotland)

Hello from Paisley in wet and windy Scotland.

Best wishes for a creative, safe and peaceful 2017.

Keep writing, keep hoping, keep proving that humanity

has more to offer than despair, prejudice and violence.

Graham Fulton (Scotland)

HOPE FOR 2017

The end of a year

should raise our chins

for more blows

for we are not

in the business of dying

until we are dying

… and a kiss

might lose its way

to land on us

Happy New Year!

Eileen R. Tabios (United States - Philippines)

Best wishes, Daniel and friends, in all of
your literary endeavors in 2017.

I'm looking forward to reading more poetry and prose from everyone associated
with Contemporary Literary Horizon.

Nuovo anno

Passa l’anno.

Il tempo è un serpente
che cambia pelle.

Un nuovo anno arriva.

Il tempo indossa il
vestito migliore.

L’inganno è lo stesso,
si ripete.

Non basta un nuovo
calendario

a darci un nuovo
sguardo.

Tuttavia lasciamoci
alle spalle

i dolori del passato.

E andiamo incontro
all’ignoto.

Ettore Fobo (Italy)

Dear all our global friends at 'Orizont Literar Contemporan', may we wish you a peaceful and productive new year in 2017. It is a privilege to be part of such a creative literary family which extends to all corners of the earth.

David and Caroline Gill (United Kingdom)

Years, old and new,

come and go and whirl and flow –

seagulls on the shore.

Monica Manolachi (România)

My wishes for 2017

Aprèn la humilitat del gra de sorra,

fes-te buit, si de corba suau i

porós epiteli que acaroni.

Fes dels teus límits el ventre

acollidor de l’estranger,

aquell no-res immens on qualsevol

Ulisses hi trobi un aixopluc.

I casa seva.

My wishes for 2017

Aprende la humildad del grano de arena,

hazte vacío, seno de curva

suave y poroso epitelio que acaricie.

Haz de tus límites el vientre

acogedor del extranjero,

aquella nada inmensa donde cualquier

Ulises encuentre su refugio.

Y una casa.

Anna Rossell (Spain)

Once again our best wishes for 2017. Keep Romania in the race, beacon of literary joy in large parts of the world!
